Ghanaian rapper Edem has expressed frustration after fellow artist Agbeko refused to participate in a rehabilitation programme at the Pantang Health Facility, despite extensive efforts to help him.
Edem revealed that he spent the day trying to motivate Agbeko, taking him from a salon to a restaurant to lift his spirits, before accompanying him to Pantang where professionals were ready to start his treatment.
